Sad to have to admit it, but I have both longish hair and the
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album on vinyl. Song 2 Side 1 is titled 'Flowers and
Beads', but this is a bit misleading because it's actually an incisive
critique of hippiedom, viz. "Flowers and beads are one thing, but having you
girl that's something ... Ah-ah-ah-ah." (Some good dream-catcher work on the
fade-out to Track 3 however.) 'Nuff said.
